Was hoping Ben mc would end up at wv or somewhere….. we’ll see how he does in ia ****** going to have to buy a whole team and I doubt if the Sukeyes have that much cash.

But, he comes really cheap…. They got off Fing lucky. He wasn’t making much at drake so any increase will sound good


If he comes really cheap he's really stupid.

1 week ago DD was a done deal to Iowa.

I believe the rumors, but wouldn’t be surprised to see someone else swoop in

Cronin certainly seem whinney enough to be a coach at Iowa, and I think he is wearing out his welcome at UCLA. If he took a midwest job like Iowa or kNU next, at least he would not be flying cross country.

My goodness. Can you imagine deciding to move on from East coast Fran and his antics, only to bring in Cronin? It’ll never happen, but it would be delightful.

Speaking of Fran, his house is on the market for 1.6 million.

Gotta appreciate the relative modesty

I’ve heard he’s actually a decent guy
lol, $1.6M is not modest for Eastern Iowa - it's a bit hard to spend more than that.

This isn't his house (it's been on the market for a couple months) - but $1.6M will get you 6000 sq ft on 3 acres:

If true, that's a good hire by Iowa. Their commitment to getting players is still a problem. McCollum always had the best players in D2, and let's face it, the Valley isn't a powerhouse league to succeed in for one year. It will be worth watching, I think we will see pretty quickly if Iowa pushes their chips in here. I am pretty sure McCollum is a better coach than DeVries, but this style of play isn't common at the high P5 level for a reason.

It’s definitely true

The house on the market now is their new home. They sold their old house last year for $2.5 million.

I'll admit that that's a pretty cool house. I wouldn't have pegged Marge for an older house. And the remodel is pretty bold, but kind of cool.

McCollum would be the best hire Iowa could make. Mid major guy with mid west ties, doesn't mean he's a guarantee but he fits the blueprint.

Now, …. Let the crap begin . I don’t like the word hate…. But that describes how I feel about that crap hole.
Hope he fails miserably because that’s what all suckeyes deserve ….
Like everything that happens over there ..,,they are sitting in a steaming pile of crap and magically the solution falls in their lap
